Creating NFTs with Smart Contracts and Python Brownie

Creating NFTs with Smart Contracts and Python Brownie

In our previous article about the Non-Fungible tokens, we explained about the methods of ERC-721. In this tutorial, we are going to use those methods to write the simple_collectible.sol smart contract and deploy it on the Rinkeby chain. In other words, we are going to create NFTs with Python Brownie tools. But before that, we also want to connect our test wallet to https://testnets.opensea.io in order to create an account in OpenSea which is a marketplace for NFTs.



Creating NFTs with Python Brownie



In this tutorial, we are going to use those methods to write the simple_collectible.sol smart contract and deploy it on the Rinkeby chain. But before that, we also want to connect our test wallet to https://testnets.opensea.io in order to create an account in OpenSea which is a marketplace for NFTs.

To begin writing our smart contract, we have 2 options:







1. Use Brownie not mix by typing the below command in the terminal:

Coppied to clipboard.

brownie bake nft-mix

And we will see all the necessary files with scripts in them are created.







2. start Brownie from scratch:

Coppied to clipboard.

mkdir simpleNFT

cd simpleNFT

brownie init

To better understand NFT smart contracts, we start from scratch. Now, let’s begin writing the smart contract of our NFT:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT


pragma solidity 0.6.6;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";

contract SimpleCollectible is ERC721 {


uint256 public tokenCounter;


constructor () public ERC721 ("Dogie", "DOG"){


tokenCounter = 0;


}

function createCollectible(string memory tokenURI) public returns (uint256){


uint256 newTokenId = tokenCounter;


_safeMint(msg.sender, newTokenId);


_setTokenURI(newTokenId, tokenURI);


tokenCounter = tokenCounter + 1;


return newTokenId;


}


}

Notice that we have used safeMint and setTokenURI from "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol" that we had imported at the beginning of our contract and we should also add it to the dependencies of the brownie-config.yaml file. Now, let’s deploy our contract using the below scripts at deploy_and_create.py file:

sample_token_uri =


"ipfs://Qmd9MCGtdVz2miNumBHDbvj8bigSgTwnr4SbyH6DNnpWdt?filename=0-


PUG.json"


OPENSEA_URL = "https://testnets.opensea.io/assets/{}/{}"


def main():


account = get_account()


simple_collectible = SimpleCollectible.deploy({"from":account})


tx = simple_collectible.createCollectible(sample_token_uri,{"from": account})


tx.wait(1)


print(f"Awesome, you


can{OPENSEA_URL.format(simple_collectible.address,


simple_collectible.tokenCounter() - 1)}")

Also, don’t forget the helpful_scripts.py file in the scripts folder:

from brownie import accounts, network, config, Contract


from web3 import Web3

LOCAL_BLOCKCHAIN_ENVIRONMENTS =

def get_account(index=None, id=None):


if index:


return accounts


if network.show_active() in LOCAL_BLOCKCHAIN_ENVIRONMENTS:


return accounts


if id:


return accounts.load(id)


return accounts.add(config)

The complete brownie-config.yaml file:

dependencies:


- OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts@3.4.0


- smartcontractkit/chainlink-brownie-contracts@1.1.1

compiler:


solc:


remappings:


- '@openzeppelin=OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts@3.4.0'


- '@chainlink=smartcontractkit/chainlink-brownie- contracts@1.1.1'


dotenv: .env


wallets:


from_key: ${PRIVATE_KEY}


networks:


development:


keyhash: '0x2ed0feb3e7fd2022120aa84fab1945545a9f2ffc9076fd6156fa96e aff4c1311'


fee: 100000000000000000


rinkeby:

fee: 100000000000000000 # 0.1

And our .env file:

export PRIVATE_KEY=' Paste your private key here'


export WEB3_INFURA_PROJECT_ID='INFURA ID'


export ETHERSCAN_TOKEN=' Your API Key goes here'

Now that we have set everything up, it is time to compile our project:

As you can see, we have successfully created our NFT and we can see it using the link given in the terminal.

Wrapping Up

In this tutorial, we have managed to write the different parts of the simplest NFT project, from the smart contract to the deployments and dependencies, configurations, environment variables, and so on. In the end, we deployed the contract on the Rinkeby test network.

A smart contract is a program that runs when certain conditions are met on a blockchain. An automated agreement executes so that all parties can see its outcome immediately without involving an intermediary. In addition to automating workflows, smart contracts can also trigger the next action when conditions are met. This blog discusses how smart contracts are changing the world around us and the benefits they will bring to the market in the future. What is a Smart Contract? The terms of a smart contract can be established in the same way as those of any other contract. However, unlike traditional contracts, a smart contract is executed as code running on a blockchain, for example, Ethereum. From loans and insurance to logistics and gaming, it offer sophisticated peer-to-peer functionality backed by blockchain security, reliability, and accessibility. Types of Smart Contracts Here are some types of self-executing smart contracts. Smart Legal Contra...
